About Me:

My husband and I are retired elementary school teachers in Southern California. We enjoy being empty nesters, but lucky enough to have our children and grandchildren living near enough that we see them often.

What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!

Our cream, apricot doodles were born on Saint Patrick's Day, 2008. One is a large mini apricot Australian Labradoodle that we named Ned, and the other is a medium apricot/cream doodle named Clancy. Our youngest doodle, Charlie, is our chocolate/white parti boy. He was born in November of 2013.

Where did you get your doodle(s)?

Breeder, Rescue, Rehome

Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?

We had two dogs and weren't looking for another, but we met a small Labradoodle when we were camping and fell in love. We immediately went on the internet and learned as much as we could about doodles and ended up with a smaller sized Australian Labradoodle that we picked because he just charmed us with his personality and antics.
Clancy had been rescued from a kill shelter where he was labeled dog-aggressive. I am so grateful that someone recognized that Clancy was afraid, not aggressive. Ned and I met him at a shelter fund raiser where he was being nicely walked through the crowd (this so-called aggressive boy around a a bunch of kids and other dogs!), and I was in love again.
Charlie is our youngest boy. He was a re-home through the DRC. He had been in two homes where no one cared enough about him to recognize and appreciate how wonderful he is and work with his challenges. He is a sweetheart who needed the right furever family and that is ours! We are so lucky to have our boys.

What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?

They fit into our family well and we enjoy including them in our activities. I also enjoy taking pictures of them.

Does your doodle(s) shed?

Yes!, Nope!

Who grooms your doodle(s)?

We have them groomed locally by a wonderful gal at Creature Comforts.

Favorite Doodle Products?

Ned especially loves stuffies. Clancy loves toys - anything you give him, but he destroys EVERYTHING with stuffing. He could be an Olympic gold medalist in the art of toy destruction. Charlie is our snuggler extraordinaire!

Thank you Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie, for making us feel so welcome and introducing us to everyone! You guys were so sweet, so helpful, and we really appreciate everything you told us and shared. You have adorable doggies and we wanted to take every one of them home with us. Gwyn and I have been texting back and forth, so we're on our way! Now we just need to wait for a mini to be born.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm slowly sifting through the groups and figuring out which ones are relevant to me. I'm so happy to have access to all the valuable info - as a novice dog owner, sometimes I don't even know where to begin!

Hi, Thank you for your warm welcome. Although we are not available to attend the romp on 10/22, we are looking forward to attending a future event. Our 5-month old, Duke, will be so happy to be able to play with other Doods. :) Lori
